Under her editorial guidance, the "Wired West" became the first chapter bulletin to go solely electronic.
Cia also served as treasurer and president of the Western Canada Chapter and has been a member of several Association committees and task forces including the Code of Accountability Task Force and the SLA Centennial Commission.
